Abstract

Some of the line elements in their original forms as they appear in literatures in different system of co-ordinates and as used by different workers have been presented in this work. Their characteristics and possible uses have also been discussed. The types of substitutions made by the workers to modify a metric for specific use have also been mentioned. The line elements have been divided, arbitrarily, into several groups for ease of discussion. The review has been made in brief as far as practicable.
